What is the starting problem with my brigggs & stratton 14.5 hp lawn mower engine?
So far I have changed the starter,battery, solenoid and positive cables.I get 12.5 volts to one side of the solenoid but when I turn the key 8.5 volts comes out the other side which isn't enough power to crank the motor over. I have also disabled the brake clutch switch because I have had problems with it before. Is this a ignition switch problem? Agway lawn tractor 42'' cut, 7 speed trans.
It oudns like to me your getting way out in the pocket here when it 's a simple trouble shoot and solution.
If you have a starter problem it is very easy to trouble shoot. I would concentrate soley on the starter itslef and notihg else right now.
I ran into a problem like that one time in my career and it about drove me nuts and in the end the starter was just bad and wouldn;t spin properly it was sluggish and made a grinding like noise like it was trying , but just coud'nt.
So let's take some jumper cables out and attach the negative side of it to your starter mount and then touch that positice to the nut there where the red cable is attach the other side to your car battery.
. If that starter spins like a bat out of hell, you must likely got a bad solonoid not grounded good or bad and in some cases I have seen brand new ones in the box be bad the odds are 100:1
Let me know what happens.
